  • did some first tries of silver soldering some cable stops on a test pipe with mixed success... got one on but could not get another. It looked like the solder flux (easy flow powder mixed with dish soap as recommended by the seller...) was burning much earlier than the metal getting red hot. Can one of the frame builder pros tell me if the dish soap thing killed it? Any recommendations for silver solder flux paste that doesnt wreck the bank?

    Many thanks!

  • ah thanks! I was going for dark cherry red which should be around 700C according to charts and the flux should servive until 800ish...

    The torch i have is a bit weak, the flame is very small so might need to get a larger flame one?

    Does any of this make sense ?

    Cheers!
